The wings 21 are constructed with 10 of material.curved outer edges 28 which serve as cams and.

An object of the invention resides in providing function in a manner tobe presently more fully a fixed member having a pair of spaced hooksdescribed. The upper ends of the hooks 23 and yieldingly held inposition and in further provld- 24 are connected together by means of aconing a pivoted member secured to the sash for ennector 29 whichconsists of a portion of the metal gagement with said hooks and heldfrom lateral from which the entire fixed member I1 is conmovement withrespect thereto through the said structed. The connector 29 isrelatively narrow hooks of the fixed member. and yieldingly connects thetwo hooks together Another object of the invention resides in 'contopermit of a slight springing together of the 2o structing the pivotedmember with a tongue two hooks.

so My invention comprises a fixed member I1 which opening forms a crossbar 43 and two side so which is attached to the header l2 of frame l0arms or lateral portions 44 and 45. The cross bar and a pivoted memberl8 which is attached to 43 is constructed with two shoulders 46 and 41the stile M of the sash |3. These parts will now and with a free upperedge 59. The arms 44 and be described in detail. 45 are formed withinwardly facing edges 48 and.

The fixed member I1 is constructed from sheet 49.

Fig. 1. The distance between the edges 48 and69 of the side arms 44 and 65 is less than the maximum width across thebutt portions 33 of hooks Z3 and 24 and greater than the minimum widthacross the tips 32 of said hooks. As the sash is swung into closingposition the edges 48 and 49 engage the curved edges 28 of the wings 21of said hooks and force the two hooks together. This causes the pivotedmember I! of the hanger to: be rigbaseportions of the fixed member swingto accommodate such movement of the hooks. When it is desired to removethe sash, the sash is merely swung outwardly and raised until the crossbar 43 becomes disengaged from the hooks 23 and 24.

The advantages of my invention are manifest. The sash hanger is easilyapplied to the sash and window frame in which the sash is used. hangermay be used with any type of pivoted sash such as storm sash, screenwindows or any outwardly opening sash. With my inveninto position sothat the same readily becomes engaged with the fixed member.

Changes in the specific form of my invention, as herein disclosed, maybe made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from thespirit of my invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protectby Letters Patent 1s:

4. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member constructed of sheet metaland formed with a outermost edges, and a. pivoted member formed withsaid hooks the same together. 7

6. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member constructed from sheet metaland formed to provide two separate base portions with hooks bent engagethe sides of said hooks for urging the hooks toward one another.

7. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member cted the outermost edgesthereof and yieldingly holding the hooks in spaced diverging relation,said hooks having outermost curved edges and a pivshoulders forengagevide a connector connected to said hooks at the outermost edgesthereof and yieldingly holding the hooks in spaced relation and apivoted member formed with shoulders for engagement with other, saidmeans being positioned in proximity to said connector.

9. A sash hanger comprising a fixed member constructed from sheet metaland formed to provide two separate base portions with hooks bentoutwardly therefrom and disposed in diverging relation, and further bentto provide a connector connected to said hooks at the outermost edgesthereof and yieldingly holding the hooks in position, said hooks havingcurved outermost surfaces and being unattached to said base portionsthroughout the divergent ends thereof to accommodate movement of saidhook portions toward one another and a pivoted member formed withshoulders for engagement with said hooks and with lateral portionshaving parallel edges for engagement with the curved edges of saidhooks, said lateral portions urging the hooks together upon applicationof the pivoted member to the fixed member and causing movement of thebase members toward one another and flexing of the free portions of thehooks.

10. A sash hanger comprising a constructed from sheet metal and formedto provide a base with two hooks projecting outwardly therefrom, saidhooks being disconnected from" said base at corresponding endsof thehooks to cause the hooks to flex, and a pivoted member formed withshoulders for engagement with said hooks and with lateral portions forengagement with the free ends of the hooks, said hooks restraininglateral movement of the pivoted mem-' ber.
